“I attended a friend of a friend’s birthday party here in this gorgeous facility w/Stevens S. Wow. What a fabulous time. From the bar to the dancefloor to the DJ to the buffet, everything was perfect! It was a “white” party so everyone had on something white and that made the look even more art deco glamorous! I love this place! Especially their take on the crab dip. Delish. I’m a huge fan!”

“Just finished hosting an event for 130 here. The venue is classy Art Deco, it makes you feel transported to the days of Greta Garbo. The owners met with us personally and made great suggestions which complimented our planning. The food was abundant and delicious, the bar well stocked and staff helpful and amiable. Definitely a 5 star event location!”
